Whew. Hopefully, that was the last of the chemo. I am home, and I am about to rest for an hour or maybe three. I spoke with Annicita for a while as she was making her way to the north side of Florida. She seems to be getting happier about her move from south to north. Lisa was up most of the night,...

I have to wander in and get the last treatment for any residual cancer that MIGHT be lingering someplace in me. My blood work is coming back clean, but cancer can be a stealth predator, and I'm not taking any chances. We have everything packed we will need to take with us when we leave for Michigan,...

Good morning. I think we have settled on a plan. As it stands now, I do believe we will be leaving Florida at about 11 AM Sunday morning to head to Michigan. This will get us through Atlanta at about four in the afternoon, but Sunday traffic is nothing like Monday through Saturday traffic. It will... Sign in to see full entry.

Lisa is having an 'off day' today. It could be the heat or it could be the stress of sitting here, waiting to go back to see her family. I suspect it could be both, so while I have made it clear to her that I'm ready to talk anytime she wants to grab me, I'll let her spend some time on the back side... Sign in to see full entry.

One of My 'Grief' Vellas
“When someone you love dies, and you’re not expecting it, you don’t lose her all at once; you lose her in pieces over a long time - the way the mail stops coming, and her scent fades away from the pillows and even from the clothes in her closet and drawers. Gradually, you accumulate the parts of her... Sign in to see full entry.
I meant to get in here much earlier, but 'stuff' came up. We are not going to leave for another week, maybe a bit longer. I'm hoping Lisa's aunt will hang on, but I don't need to be slapped about the head and shoulders by an angel telling me to stay home to realize we aren't meant to make this trip...

Well... it's 12:30 and we are still home. Neither of us is happy about that, but life goes on. Tomorrow is still an option, as is any day this week, but it ain't gonna happen today. Maybe it is for the best we are delayed. I am feeling better by the day after two months of messing around with... Sign in to see full entry.

We are still in a state of flux about tomorrow, and that drives me nuts. We are waiting to hear from other people about doing other things, so in the meantime, I'm doing some work on my Vella stuff and editing my old stuff using my new editing techniques. I'm in the process of setting that new... Sign in to see full entry.

Good afternoon or maybe good late morning to ya. We still are not 100% sure what our plans will be this weekend, so we are planning on A) going to Michigan, B) not going to Michigan, or C) going back to the Gulf. As much as I don't think I am really up to making that journey north, it is important... Sign in to see full entry.

Good morning. It looks like another day of temps below 90 and more rain this afternoon. As I recall from my previous twelve years here, we call that 'summer in Florida.' It can be dry and hot one minute, rain like a monsoon the next... and two minutes after the rain stops, it is hot and dry again. I... Sign in to see full entry.
